the axles are too long on the sn cars, you'll either need 5 lug axles out of a aerostar/bronco 2 or ranger. or go buy some for 100 bux at 50resto.com

You can fit a 28x9x15 Mickey Thompson slick with a little rubbing on the wheelhouse.If you are not making alot of power most guys just run 26x10x15 and use a atl east a 15x8 wheel 5.5 Backspace,you can use a 15x10 6.5 bs for better contact patch.

Hey congrats on your build. I'm doing my first ground up too. Bought four cyl. auto went to 5.0 5spd. Trying to stay stock at least until I know it runs. Hey I'm wondering if the wiring harness on the left of the firewall that goes to the ignition and everything under the dash needs to be changed or if the four and eight cyl. harness is the same. Does anyone know?
